Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Frog's First Song
24
A playful picture book about the joys of belonging and community from award-winning Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and three-time Archibald Prize finalist Jason Phu.First, the world is all dark. A little bit muddled and confused.
The only sound dripping water and small bubbles gurgling.
In that darkness and quiet, everyone is alone.
This is the world in the well.
And so begins the tale of how frogs came to croak in chorus at night-time. Inspired by Chinese parables and Dreaming stories, this debut picture book is a unique and melodic ode to taking chances, using your voice and coming together in song and dance. Jazz Money is a Wiradjuri poet and artist whose work spans installation, digital, performance, film and print. Their writing has been widely published nationally and internationally, and performed on stages around the world. Jazz has published two award-winning collections of poetry, how to make a basket (UQP, 2021) and mark the dawn (UQP, 2024). The Frog's First Song is their first children's picture book.
Jason Phu is an artist working across a wide range of mediums, including printmaking, painting and performance. His work references folk tales, family history and funny jokes. Sometimes it includes imagery from comics, cartoons and Chan paintings.
